Yamaha NS200M Crossover Location

Hi everyone!
I've got a pristine pair of NS200m's and want to bring the crossovers up to date, but before I start removing components, I want to know where the crossovers are actually located in the cabinet, so I'm not doing any unneeded disassembly. What is the best source to find replacement CAPS?
Is there any benefit to cleaning the pots for the mid/ tweet as well?
I enjoy these speakers, as they are much easier to listen to compared to the NS500 or 1000 models.

Woofer- 4.0mh inductor Ferrite core in series
47uF/50v electrolytic cap in parallel

Mid- 18uF/50v electrolytic in series
2.3mh ferrite inductor in parallel
.4mh ferrite inductor in series
3.5uF/160v metalized paper in parallel

Tweeter- 2.7uF/160v metalized paper in series
.3mh ferrite inductor in parallel

Lpads are after the crossover

Crossover located behind the "L" pads. There are many ways to skin a cat as they say, but this is what I would do. I'd replace all of the caps with the exception of the 47uFd parallel woofer cap with film types like the Audyn Q4's. A film capacitor of 47 uFd's might be too large to fit, so a new conventional electrolytic is probably your best choice. Plus an electrolytic is 1/10th the cost of a film cap. Parts Express or Madisound are good sources.
